While visiting a friend in CO, we made and shot snowballs, individually or in mini-snowman format.

Another friend had a poster printer. He would print posters of a full 54 card poker deck, and we would shoot competing poker hands. Other times he would print out dartboards, and we would shoot Cricket or 301.

You can really make pinecone's dance, that are thrown up against a dirt backstop. Trick is: shoot just below the pinecone, so as to propell it in mid-air, and have you or your partner shoot it while it is still aerial.

Dremill drill the NECCO wafers, and hang buy a small wire.

Don't drill thru the old rubber band core golfballs or you'll jam the drill bit. Use a long-enough string to keep the golf ball in motion after a hit.

Pierce a tennis ball with a fishing hook with a leader attached to it, and hang with a long string.

Super glue paint balls to a string or target, or pierce one with a stand-up toothpick; stuck in cardboard.

Use stand-up 1.5 foot long thin steel flagwires you can buy at Home Depot. Loop one end of the wire to snugly fit a shotgun shell, and stand-up the wire on the backstop.

I used to go out to the Lytle Creek area outside of Los Angeles to shoot.
All kinds of junk was always out there, TVs, a billion shotgun shells, glass everywhere then it hit me. some shooters are slobs and just dumping crapola here in the National Forest...

I have not tried this yet but, we use to cut a slit in a tennis ball and jam pack it full of strike anywhere match heads. You could throw it at a wall and they explode,im guessing shooting them would have the same effect!

I like to dump a full 20-round drum of 12 gauge from my Saiga-12 into a clump of cactus. It's awesome to watch the cactus explode and literally get cut down by the volume of fire. It's best right after it rains when they're full of water.

I like using clays for my pistols and 22s. Need to try them at long range with my rifle...
A box of 90 is about $7, i tape them on a paper plate and they are a great training exercise for rapid target acquisition and switching between targets (hang multiple plates 12 inches apart).

Blocks of ice. Just freeze gallon plastic jugs, or 1/2 gallon cardboard milk containers. Cut the container off, and shoot away making little ice chunks out of bigger ones. No clean up necessary when you remove the ice from the container first. The target material just melts away.
When my son was 10 or 12 he liked to shoot at old stuffed animals I found cheap at garage sales. His favorite was a purple dinosaur of PBS fame! Shooting It to bits with my Hakim he said he "Hakimed" him.
